Proved reserves as of end-March 2010 decreased by 18 million BOE (around -7%) to 254 million BOE compared to ones as of end -March 2009. Factors in the decrease are decrease due to production (around 14 million BOE) and changes due to revaluation (around 4 million BOE). We aim to exceed the target reserves through steady efforts toward the realization of the development of Garraf oil field in Iraq, for which we secured wining bid in 2009, and the Hangingstone oil sands expansion project in Canada.
